The classroom 2-A had been completely empty since Princess Limona had transferred all the students of Class A to the Kingdom of Barbados about a week ago.
The desk with the scribbled words of invective on it was left at the end of the room, and although I must have gone there every day, it was as fresh as if I hadn’t been there for a long time.
((((；ﾟДﾟ)))) Gawk.
Looking around the classroom, Hirai san, who was still holding hands with me, was trembling.
“Hey, Ito-kun. What’s going on…..here. This classroom–it’s Efuran High School’s 2-A classroom. Why? Wasn’t you the only one who could transfer beyond the world?”
“Oh, that’s a lie. Yeah. I’d hate for them to come back to this world and ruin the peace and quiet we have over here.”
“That’s true, but…..then why did you bring me here? –You’re going to make sure I get back to the other side, right?”
“Haha, no way.”
I told her, and Hirai san’s expression turned pale.
“Did you hear what I said? ……I don’t belong in this world. I have Sato san here at school and my father back home.. ……And unlike the other world, this world is peaceful, so I can’t do much with my ability to heal wounds. There is no place for me !”
“I know. I thought that’s why I brought you here.”
“Why……. I apologized so hard. The pain of having my fingernails peeled off or licking your shoes isn’t enough? I was willing to make any compensation if Ito kun wanted it. But……bringing me to this world !”
Hirai san was shedding tears. It’s funny. Crying face suits Hirai san, after all. Seeing her in pain makes me happy.
That’s why I brought her here. I thought Hirai san would hate it the most.
“Amanojaku. …….Then, I’m very happy. The truth is that I lied to Ito kun because of your personality. I really wanted to go home, so that’s just what he wanted. You were fooled. You’re a fool.”
She was clearly lying, using a light tone of voice and a kindergarten-level vocabulary.
“Ah, I was deceived. I can transfer from another world to Earth, but not the other way around, so it’s very frustrating.”
“……That’s a lie too, anyway, isn’t it?”
If I felt like it, I could take Hirai san with me and travel between Earth and another world repeatedly, like jumping horizontally. But I won’t return. Because Hirai san wants it.
“Hey, are you sure you don’t want to put me back in the other world? …..I’ll do anything if you let me go back. Not only sex, but I’ll go around town naked, gouge out both of your eyeballs, and even dance and eat mice.”
Even if the latter two can be cured with healing, that’s still a hell of a determination.
And that Hirai san. I’m sure she would do it if I told her to do it. Even if the condition of going back to the other world is a complete lie, she will probably keep doing it until she breaks down.
“I don’t want that. It’s no fun to show me that.”
“…………. Then, how about watching me kill myself? Now, I’ll make a special deal and let you choose how I’m going to die.”
“I don’t think that would be interesting either. …..I mean, do you really hate this world that much?”
“I hate it…….It wasn’t like that until I was transferred, but after I found out that there was a place where I was needed, I was made to understand that there was no place for me. If I didn’t know I had a place where I was needed, it would have been bearable.”
“That’s surprising. I don’t see you as that kind of devoted person.”
“Devoted? No, I’m not. Being needed by others means that my own value is increased. For example, if I asked a mother of a child with an incurable disease to let me cut out her eyeballs in exchange for curing the child, she might let me cut them out, right?”
What Hirai san is trying to say is that the amount of value needed is the amount of unreasonable requests that can be granted.
If the demand goes up, the value goes up. Just as sweets, which are worth less than 100 yen in Japan, sell for tens of thousands of yen in other worlds where the quality of food is low.
“If I am needed, I will not be oppressed, and conversely, I will be able to oppress others.”
That was what Hirai san had said earlier, even in the other world.
“……I don’t want to be a worthless human being anymore. I don’t want to live in this world anymore, where I have to live in fear of abuse, where I have to keep being used and used, and where my dignity and pride have to be trampled on. Please, Ito kun.”
Hirai san was shedding tears and clinging to me. She was pleading with me.
I like Hirai san who cries miserably and looks like she is in pain. When Hirai san looks unhappy, the trauma of being abused seems to lessen more and more.
The only thing I wondered was.
“Why don’t you just use that ability to heal yourself from being abused or mistreated?”
The old Hirai san, with her hands covered in burns, is no longer here. And if she can be healed, even reckless resistance will be easy. But, she shook her head.
“It’s not that. They are demons. …..If they know that I can heal myself, they will do terrible things to me.”
Hirai san, who says it’s okay to have her nails removed and doesn’t have enough pride to even lick my shoes, is still so frightened and hates it. On the contrary, I’m concerned.
It is hard to think of something more disgusting than eating a live rat.
“Rather than having your nails ripped off or being forced to eat rats?”
…..That’s about it as far as the level goes, but those guys have no reason. The way they look at you, every little word they say, their mood at the time. They are unreasonably and absurdly abusive with such light motives. I don’t understand why they are angry with me, but they punish me.”
Come to think of it, Hirai san said something like she didn’t want to be resented by me.
Is she extremely afraid of people’s anger and resentment? And the heel seemed helpless against such said mental problems.
I see. Little by little, I began to understand the human nature of Hirai san.
“……Hey, Ito kun. If you really don’t want to send me back to another world, will you at least let me stay at your house? I may look like this, but I’m good at cooking, choosing, and cleaning.”
“You can’t. …In the first place, my shitty father came back, so I slept in the castle yesterday.”
“I-I see. ….Right. Ah, but now that I think about it, Ito kun has a little money that he extorted from those guys right now, right?”
“I have, but so what?”
“T-then at least let me stay in a hotel. …..I’ll have the cheap one for about 2,000 yen a night. I’ll do my best to repay you if you let me borrow it.
I think I can entertain Ito kun. I can heal any kind of injury with my [Heal], so I can do hard things that are normally impossible.”
Hirai san was desperate as she said this.
I’m very curious about Hirai san’s family environment that she doesn’t want to go that far to go back home.
But I thought that Hirai san, who has something that frightens her so much, would entertain me.
